Enhancing Core Teaching Skills with Technology


#4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility


Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices. Teachers:
  • advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources
  • address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources
  • promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information
  • develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools




My artifacts demonstrating this standard (What?)


My Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?)

These artifacts have made me research our policy to an extent that I have not done in the past. They have made me question so of the current policies that are in place and wonder how to "adjust" them.
By interviewing the librarian, I have discovered several more technology factors that exist in our school that can be utilized.

My Future Learning Goals related to this standard (Now What?)

My future goal is to try and get our technology policy current for the current technology that is available. I will also attempt to start a discussion about a social networking policy placement to allow teachers to actually use all the technology that is out there.
